    Here is another film about sex I just found which is funny and unique; not quite as amazing as Hysteria, but worth watching.
    You can watch it streaming on Netflix (and elsewhere online) at:
    http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/My...trkid=13573466
    Here is the trailer:

    Description:"To win back his ex-girlfriend, a conservative accountant enlists the help of an exotic dancer to guide him on a quest for sexual experience, leading him into a world of strip clubs, sensual massage parlors, cross-dressing and S & M."


    This one is really funny too, and well acted: Secretary
    Description: A young woman, recently released from a mental hospital, gets a job as a secretary to a demanding lawyer, where their employer-employee relationship turns into a sexual, sadomasochistic one.
    Stars:
    James Spader, Maggie Gyllenhaal


    I've been processing some sexual issues from younger years lately, and I'm finding films like this are helpful in treating them with a sense of humor.
    Sex is another thing TPTW have helped screw up for the rest of us (please pardon the pun), so if we need a justification for reviewing movies about sex on Avalon, I guess that is as good as any.

    On the subject of human sexuality and liberation, there's a short TED talk video on the female orgasm which I've posted on the Videos From Forbidden Knowledge, which I think is worthy of our consideration; in post #129 here:

    Secretary


    in the search for the inception of mental blockages to our emotive states we often locate a person thats to blame , then the species is in general stereotyped into being the culpret... this movie breaks it down subtly into one very important message

    was it the chicken or the egg . . .

    and the answer ultimately is, acceptance and love.

    we are all seeking love and in the mean time we encounter the journey towards understanding what love is.

    once we know .. then we experience , what we know is unique to our own needs ...

    James Spader was brilliantly cast in this movie , he was the right choice and he delivered on every level. Maggie Gyllenhaal was just mesmorising. Her mouth is so perfect and minimalist. Directed by Steven Shainberg captures sexual tension to the point of distraction ! magnificent timing and conceptual prowess in art direction means we see the entire mental gammet behind the charachters, portrayed in an astheticly pleasing atmosphere...

    this juxtapose of tension and asthetics is rivetting.

    I really enjoyed this movie and everything it represents

    Here's one from the Forbidden Knowledge thread, a campy 1980s sci-fi spoof ( I found it more zany than "brainy", unlike the Forbidden Knowledge reviewer, but I liked John Lithgow's weird and Ellen Barkin's offbeat roles, among other things).
    Buckaroo Banzai - Full
    Quote This is one of my all-time favorite
    films, 'The Adventures of Buckaroo
    Banzai Across the 8th Dimension',
    with an all-star cast, many of the
    actors going on to have great
    Hollywood careers (a very difficult
    thing to do), including Peter Weller,
    John Lithgow, Ellen Barkin, Christopher
    LLoyd, Jeff Goldblum and literally a
    cast of hundreds.

    This film might not be up for very
    long, so if you've never seen it, I
    wholeheartedly advise you to
    ignore the BS raging on your normal
    TV and to watch this underground
    cult classic!

    The film borrows heavily from
    Thomas Pynchon themes, with a
    disdain for the Military Industrial
    Complex and a very 'insider'
    view of the defense contacting
    industry and of extraterrestrials,
    It may have been too brainy or
    ahead of its time for the dumbed
    down masses of the mid-'80s.

    Video (about 102 mins):

    The Fountain


    as promised i watched the fountain a few days ago and have since been trying to decide what i want to say about the movie. Ill start by going into the concepts really because there are always 2 parts to discuss , Story and The Actors portrayal of that story.

    The message is simple in this movie and i liked that however the concepts were pretty deep .. possibly deeper on levels that most viewers wouldnt grasp or believe are taken from reality. Its real and that what its showing us and the way it does , with slight of hand is predtty darn good imo.

    My only dissapointment was Hugh Jackman ... i think they could have cast someone better. He had some good scenes but he was over acting in most and it sort of didnt hit the mark at times.

    thats my only gripe .. other than that its an interdimentional romance of past lives and magicical mystery. well worth a look '

    Thanks Nanoo for watching The Fountain. I think it's a movie that hits each individual on a personal level. You see more in the movie with every watching. I personally thought Jackman's portrayal was very good, in that he was passionate about the cure and his caring for his wife. I found it to be highly emotional and very deep as you said.
    There's something that doesn't make sense. Let's go and poke it with a stick.

    Hello all.

    I've been thinking about starting a thread about things I'm noticing in different movies and tv shows, but then I spotted this thread and wondered if I might be allowed to join in here instead. So, Nanoo Nanoo, question for ya: The aliens who are rating these movies, :-) Can I post movie thoughts here if I'm artificially attributing a certain bias to our aliens? Specifically, I'd like to review movies for aliens who are rooting for the human race to overcome and awaken. :-)

    For example, last night I watched After Earth, with Will Smith. Now, I'm not sure what an alien might make of this film. If they were indifferent toward the plight of humans, then perhaps they would simply view it as a story depicting humanity facing it's own karma. Maybe it would get a 5 star rating, perhaps not even that much.

    But, if I were a biased alien spectator, and I was hoping to see the humans win down here, (Us real humans, not the characters in the movie.) then I would be pleased with the big metaphor of this film.

    There are engineered monsters called Ursas running all over the place with a single purpose, to hunt down and eliminate all humans. The way they hunt is by detecting the smell of human fear. They are designed to be able to detect infinitessimal traces of the type of pheromones produced by humans when they get scared. And the way the main characters in the movie learn to defeat an Ursa is by conquering all of their fear.

    Being an alien who can see the big picture, I know that for a lot of people, the after life, or the astral, is the next big frontier for humans. And that there are Ursa-like critters that do roam the lower levels of the astral, and their interaction with humans is very similar to the creature in the After Earth movie, only in reverse: Astral uglies don't necessarily seek us out by sensing our fear as much as the trepid wayfarer is simply drawing them to himself by fixating on all the possible nasties that could be waiting out in this vast new territory. The astral plane of Earth responds to our thoughts. If we think it, we manifest it there. Thus, the way to avoid confrontation with the real Ursas that do exist in the near-Earth astral realms is total conquest of our human fears.

    I would think an alien, out there in the upper astral, with his bucket of popcorn, watching the big show, would be pleased to see a movie like that that can reach the dormant human minds through their tv screens, and give it maybe 8 stars for the pretty easy metaphor to pick up on...

    Seeker, most of the new films, and the famous films done recently exist for two reasons- one is to prepare the mind for what is to come in the near or more distant future, and another is to create those events and entities in the thought forms they first occupy. The more energy people pour into those thought form/scenarios, the bigger chance for those exact event to manifest. That is the main goal.
    Contrary to that I am thinking that we as a humanity need some counteractions in the form of TV show and films that present the beautiful side of life, nature and our still undiscovered/dormant sometimes abilities (magic you may call it).

    Most of us here can see the bigger picture because we care to think and investigate and discuss.

    Your idea about a thread with comments about films will be a thread I will visit often. But if Nanoo Nanoo doesn't mind his one being flooded by bystanders like me with my ideas and film suggestions, than we can use it too. I for one don't really like too many threads about similar subjects.

    Thank you for your thoughtful post.

    I would say its un healthy to focus only on preperation for the inevitable possible maybe perhaps scenarios of the death of mand kind. Hollywood is boring me to tears in that regard and its a fixation of fear porn retaradtion. There is not one glimmer of hope or beauty in Hollywoods mixed messages. Just fatality of you dont keep the US Army by your side. All this endorses is duality , Us and Them. This is a propoganda to further push their agenda. Its so obvious.

    The popcorn scoffing aliens are laughing at our focus. And it may even surprise us that they dont particularly find us that interesting. There are far more interesting species out there to examine if that were your only purpose but even that is an assumption.

    I have seen and met with so many species of ET i have completely lost count and while i have realised that some of them attach them selves to you for what ever reasons , most of them let go when you ask them and some are fearful of it because they feel they need you. But like attracts like and i ask you to consider the symbiotics of Et contact and how they orperate. Its a hugely diferent culture than what we are ready to examine. I doubt most people , even ones who say they are ready for contact could contemplate their cultures.

    With every interaction , from what i can gather , there is a custom of recipricated energetic transfer. This is their custom ( generally speaking ) , so when you give them something you often receive something beneficial in return. There is very little scarcity mentality out there. Not when you have learned for millions of years thatr energy is abundant and free. Just that alone relinquishes us of a lot of propoganda.

    You are most definitely welcom to discuss these phenomena here as its a good brack drop for all the things we love to explore : 0 )

    Mad Max 2



    Possibly the only good Australian movie ever made and still one of my favorites of all time, in my opinion Australians cannot act or direct because of a basic lack of any culture or understanding of life.

    Its simple story line was way ahead of its time and was a great introduction to one of the movie greats, Mel Gibson. Once the Yanks got their hands on Beyond Thunderdome it was runied.

    It predicts some things we are only just seeing now and its solitude with the back drop of the barron Australian desert i find so desperately romantic.

    Director , Geroge Miller is planning a new one ! heres a sneak peek and man i love the cars !



    From a rev heads point of view i love this movie !

    What do lots of Conspiracy Theorists like to do most?
    Wake up the sleepers, of course!
    Here is a little gem of a movie (a sleeper, actually, if you'll pardon the double entrendre).
    If you can tolerate the extreme stuffiness in this very British comedy (although made by a New Zealand company) entitled Dean Spanley, you'll find it is wonderfully cast, with Sam O'Neill, Peter O'Toole, Jeremy Northram, Bryan Brown and Judy Parfitt.
    Peter O'Toole's expressions as his character is suddenly awakened to a reality more amazing than he ever dreamed of are a Conspiracy Theorist's dream come true.

    I disagree, though I did like the Mad Max movie.
    My Brilliant Career with one of my all time favorite actresses, Judy Davis, is wonderful.


    Not to mention Rabbit Proof Fence


    And the campy musical Starstruck is one of my favorite musicals.
